What Is Robbery Under California Law?
Robbery is defined under Penal Code 211 as the felonious taking of personal property in the possession of another, from their person or immediate presence, and against their will, accomplished by means of force or fear.
In simpler terms, it means taking something from someone directly, using violence or threats.
California law classifies robbery as a violent felony, making it a “strike” offense under the Three Strikes Law. There are two degrees of robbery:
First-degree robbery typically involves robbing someone in their home, while using an ATM, or during a carjacking.
Second-degree robbery includes all other types.

Penalties for Robbery in California
Robbery convictions carry serious consequences, including:
Second-degree robbery: 2 to 5 years in state prison
First-degree robbery: 3 to 9 years in state prison
Strike offense implications: Longer sentences for future felonies
Use of a weapon or injury to victim: Sentence enhancements
Parole restrictions, fines, and victim restitution
A robbery charge—especially when paired with enhancements like gang involvement or weapon use—can lead to decades behind bars. You need an experienced defense team to challenge the prosecution’s case head-on.
